The process of optical communication breaks down into a few simple steps: E/O converters use light-emitting elements such as semiconductor lasers, O/E converters use light-receiving elements such as photodiodes, and optical elements such as lenses are used at the input and output.

In this lecture, we are going to learn about Optical fiber communication, a Block diagram of optical fiber communication systems, types, and modes of optical fiber, and the advantages and applications of optical fiber communication. It is also used in other industries, including medical, defense, government. Total internal reflection (critical angle, using Snell's law). Higher bandwidth (extremely high data transfer rate). Lower transmitter launching power. Less susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Following image depicts a bunch of fiber optic cables.
